You know, I'm not surprised about Harvard.

Last year, something was said about the endowment Harvard has, and I thought at that time, They are going after the endowment. He wasn't even pRes at the time. Fast forward to now, and here we are.

ALL schools who are secure with their endowments can probably look forward to the harrassment from the rump regime. He is scraping off every last cent he can from the United States, and this is just another revenue stream. He is also probably getting even in some twisted way for "Trump University." He is repeatedly using "antisemitism" as an excuse for going after somebody. That's his academic M.O.

We have to vote out this Orange asshole. I guess he couldn't buy his way into Harvard those many years ago, so now he's rampaging. He really isn't very smart, but he sure is a bully.

Those who believe in Democracy, OTOH, want people to learn and think and say…and do.

What JFK said at the 1962 Yale commencement:

“It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds, a Harvard education and a Yale degree. I am particularly glad to become a Yale man because as I think about my troubles, I find that a lot of them come from other Yale men.”

We can't really do that. We had our chance to deal with him in November, and we didn't do it.

I also know that he is planning shenanigans for 2028. You may be called upon to vote against him again.

And, no, it is not funny.

He’s a dictator.

He’ll just ignore the 2 term rule and refuse to leave, ignoring all the laws just like he is doing now. Unless someone is sent to evict him, but he controls the AG. Getting him out will literally take the military turning on him.

his beef goes back to a deal gone sour in the 80’s w the pritzkers/hyatt. cindy pritzker is on the board. and of course, jb is buying none of this shit.
i’m sure the money is part of it, but it’s just another of his petty, petty grievances.
